Application Status
You can log in to your application anytime to check the status of your application. This information will be displayed on your application dashboard. Please note: the GRE is not required for M.Eng. or GCEN applications, however, the system may note that your application is "Incomplete" without GRE scores. You can ignore that system message.
Application Review Process
After your application is complete, it will be reviewed by Maryland Applied Graduate Engineering. The department will decide whether or not to recommend you for admission to the Graduate School. The Graduate School makes all final admissions decisions and will issue the official admission letter. Once the decision has been made, you will be able to view your decision letter online by logging back into your application.
I-20 for International Students
The I-20 is issued by the International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) office when the Graduate School grants admission. Admitted students will receive all necessary immigration information in order to obtain an I-20 directly from ISSS.
Deferral of Application or Admission
Applicants and admitted students may defer their application or admission for up to one year. To request a deferral, please email Gerardo Najera at gnajera@umd.edu to discuss your eligibility to do so.
Application Withdrawal Dates/Termination of Admission Status
Please note that all incomplete applications and applications from international students who are not cleared for admission will be withdrawn. Applicants who do not register for the semester for which they are admitted will have their admission terminated.
